What this worksheet teaches

• Recognise that plants and animals depend on each other, such as bees visiting flowers.
• Explain the job of each plant part, including how roots take in water and leaves make food.
• Sort animals into groups such as birds, fish, insects and mammals using visible features.
• Describe simple life cycles, for example seed to plant or egg to chick.

How to use this worksheet

Work through the sorting questions with a pencil first, not a pen. Grade 2 children commonly place bats with birds and whales with fish, and being able to erase and re-sort after you talk about fur and feeding young keeps the focus on the reasoning rather than on the mistake.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which part of a plant makes food?
2. Which part grows under the soil?

Frequently asked questions

How much writing does this worksheet need?

Answers are short - a word, a label or a single sentence. It is designed so that limited spelling confidence does not block a child who understands the science.

Do we need to grow a real plant to complete it?

No. Everything can be answered from the worksheet itself, though growing a bean in a jar alongside it makes the life-cycle questions noticeably easier to remember.

What comes after this topic?

Grade 3 usually moves from parts and groups to how living things depend on their surroundings - food chains, adaptation and habitats in more detail. Solid plant parts and animal groups now make that step much smoother.
